s we prepare to host Diplomatic Courier's annual Wellbeing Forum in October, we’ve decided to look after the physical and mental wellbeing of our workplace. With an exciting but also frighteningly busy remainder of 2023 just around the corner, Diplomatic Courier’s staff is “Gone Fishing,” which is just our way of saying that we’re taking some time away to recharge and reconnect with family and friends. We hope you have the chance to do the same. We’ll be back to our regular publication schedule right after Labor Day! 

Not to worry, we aren’t going anywhere and we aren’t leaving you completely without reading material! There will be a small amount of new content still coming through. It has also become a tradition during our summer and winter breaks (measured by seasons in Washington, D.C., our publication’s home) to bring some attention to articles we’ve published earlier in the year. These are articles which our staff either felt was a particularly excellent read, or an article which was published previously but still (or again!) has particular relevance today. You can find the entire list below, while on social media we’ll be highlighting a few reads from the list.
